Thinkspace is pleased to present Reflections of a New Generation, featuring new work by Ekundayo, Joram Roukes (featured in our April 2013 issue), and Adam Caldwell.

Another good way to end the year. Thinkspace Gallery has shown a strong program this year in Culver City, and we close 2010's Back Talks with Seth Armstrong, who is showing with Adam Caldwell and Brett Amory in There It Is, opening at Thinkspace next Saturday night, January 8, 2011. Feels good to write 2011. Back Talk after the jump . . .

We appreciate an artist who takes the Back Talk and just goes for it. Adam Caldwell goes for it. We are hoping the work at his show in Thinkspace Gallery, opening January 8, 2011, will also feature work that goes for it. The show, There It Is, features the work of Caldwell, Brett Amory, and Seth Armstrong. Read about Caldwell after the jump . . .
